IPhone Apps with advertisement in update

I'm finding that some iPhone Apps add advertising with "updates." Today I updated one of my favorite games -- iMahjong, only to find it now has a persistent advertisement at the top of the playing screen.
A couple of weeks ago I updated ScoreMobile -- only to find that the "update" was an advertisement at the top of the screen!
So -- first, that is a complaint, and I will go make a suggestion to Apple; I think it is terribly misleading to not describe in the app description/update that an ad has been added, and terrible of Apple to let thes ads be added!
Secondly, could someone remind me of where on my hard drive all the iPhone apps are stored? Perhaps I can delete the newest update and return to the "nicer" version?
Thanks!
Joan

Thank you, Macgaspode! I hadn't thought about writing my complaint as a review of the app -- will go do that right now!
Also hadn't considered that Apple might lose money on an ad, rather than make money -- thanks for that insight.
Yep -- I figured out how to remove/revert, and thank you so much for your suggestions!

  • Does anyone have problems occasionally with their slide to unlock on iphone 4s with the ios7 update? And do you think there will be a bug fix? Bit worried

    Hi everyone,
    I've recently updated my iphone 4s with the ios7 update and there was a bug fix I also downloaded recently but I hadn't noticed anything wrong at the time. I know it's not happened that often today but does anyone have any problems with their 'slide to unlock' button and have to reload their iphone again? Do you think there'll be a bug fix for it? Just worried as it's not old and I have a feeling I shouldn't have bothered with the update at all.

    Why would you think it's a bug?  If it were a bug EVERYONE would be having the same issue.
    Basics from the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.

  • How to update iPhone Apps with iTunes 11?

    I'm having trouble updating my iPhone Apps using iTunes. I've already transferred my purchases from my iPhone to my mac.
    I've downloaded updates for the iPhone apps, but for some reason I can't sync the updated apps to my iPhone.
    Is there an option to make sure my iPhone apps will sync from my mac to my iPhone and vice-versa?

    I clicked the Apps tab and when I'm on the Apps page, there's no checkbox or anything next to the Apps title on the page like the Music, Movies, etc pages. where do I go from there?
    I know that how we used to do it, but in iTunes 11, Apple removed the checkbox for sync Apps on the Apps page. So is there another way now to select "Sync Apps"?

  • Downloading Aussie iPhone App with US iTunes Store

    Hello.. I am an American currently living in Australia. We have a US iTunes account since we move around and originate from there. I'm trying to download a free iPhone app from the iTunes store but it is only available in the Australia iTunes store. Does anyone know a work around for pulling a free app from another country's iTunes store into a device synched with the US store?
    Rob

    You'll need to open up a second account in the Australian iTunes Store. If you only want the free iPhone apps, take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is apparently critical.
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free content without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
    Regards.

  • I just updated my Iphone 4 with the latest update form Itunes and it killed it. It said some error and shut down and went to the install itunes screen. I have lost everything! This is ridiculous!

    As above, I updated my phone, no jail break no nothing and its stuffed. All the money I have spent on in app purchases all gone?
    I am gutted, all because if Apple stuffing up? That is not fair. Has anyone else had a similar experience with the recent update?

    Thanks Malvin, I have calmed down a bit, it still says 5minutes till back up is complete, I did sync my phone. At this point I will just be relieved to get it to turn on to normal, then I will start worrying about apps.
    What on earth is wrong with the updates? I think I am just going to ignore them from now on. The previous update locked my itunes and I couldn't access my apps untill i downloaded another app (thanks to these forums).
    I will post back in a few minutes once it is complete.

  • ICal on iMac won't synch with iphone 4 with 4s software update

    Help please.
    Since I updated my iphone 4 with the software for iphone 4s my ical on my imac won't synch with my iphone calendar. Also events are duplicated. It is driving me crazy as I have to check both clandarsd to ensure I don't miss any events and have to physically re enter them separately into the different calendars.
    If the fix involves backing up or anything technical can you please explain fully how I do it as I am not a very experienced mac user.
    Thanks
    Nicole

    "Well, I figured it out. The events that weren't syncing from my laptop to my iPhone were events for which I had changed the "calendar". In other words, I set up some events in iCal, all of which were part off the same calendar, but then I didn't like the color of those events. So I created a new calendar and changed these events by right clicking on them to assign them to the new calendar. Somehow, moving these events from the calendar they were created on to a different one caused them not to be recognized by the sync process. This sounds like a bug to me."
